I ht . , Txnoottrivi 4 r HE AND BAYHELD MAIL RI,I'TE.-We notice that the pomace de - pad tmeht is advertieing for_ tenders for the • co veyance of the mails between Seaforth ata Bayfield daily ; between Bayfield and Bruedield railway station daily and semi - daily, and between Seaforth and Egmond- vale semi -daily. This, no doubt means, that if pricea art satiefactory, the old route between Seaforth and Bayfield may be abandoned aod a semi -daily route establish- ( d etween Seaharth and Egmondville, and ale between Bruceiield and Bayfield, aban- dor ing the portion of the old route between Bre eefield and legmondville, and severing the direct mail connection between Seaforth and Brucetield and Seaforth and Bayfield. W ile we would be very glad if Egmond- vill and Bayfield would eaah have a senii- daily service, we do not think this should be don. at the expense of Seaforth, as is now pro ()Bed. Aside from the large amount of tree paesenger and freight, that is carried atm g the present route by stage to and iron Scaforth and intermediate points, and which le a very great c tivenience to the eapecially in su mer, we now re- ceive all our snail -motor from thatuatith by the forenoon maii, where9s by the proposed new arrangement all this matter would be delayed until three o'olook in the afternoon. This would place Seaforth at a very great disadvantage in ,comparison with Clinton arid other points ,along tile London, Huron and Bruce Railway. In teed of curtailing the facilities of the larger trade ceneres, as the propoaed new arrangement would do, the depertment should 4ini at increasing them. The better arrangement would be to leave the present route as it now is, and gtve Bayfield a morning service. This could be done for about the same cost as the seheme proposed and woald be satisfactory te all. It would lap a step forward instead of a step backwarde • • , CREAM' SIVARATORS.-Many farmers are now using cream separatOrs, and find their use profitable. Mr. W. L.

' -1680-tf FIFTY YEARS A00. -Mr. Robert McMil- lan, of R xboro, McKillop, has shown us a ancient& It is a receipt which he reeeived c docurnen ,•which has now becomesomewhat from Mr. Horace Horton, ex M. P., pf Goderich and is dated.the 13th day of Feb- ruary, 18-2, now nearly half a century ago, Mr. Horton was at that time acting as cen- sus come issioner for the county of Huron, and Mr. McMillan as enumerator for the township of Tuckeramith. The receipt is• an ackno ledgment by Mr. Horton of the return sh ets sent him by Mr. McMillan. These s eets showed -the population of Tuckers lath at that time to be 1,727. Both gentlemli, although then in the prime of life, are till hale end hearty, and we are sure that it is theiwish of their numerous friends that they may be long spared tO go out and in arnon,gat us. Mr. McMillan says that the snow that winter, when he was taking the census, was very deep. In the neighborhood of the tenth concession there was' a deese swamp, in which deer was very nurneroue, and, as there was a crust on the snow, iG was hard for. them -to get around, and, consequently, they were very easily captured. .A8 a reisult of this venison was plentiful, and he came acrose many houses in the township where the people were us- iug venison, and at most places one or more careasees were hanging up frozen, for family use. What is now considered a great lux- ury, and to secure:which men travel miles, was theu so plentiful aato.be almost devoid of value. Seaforth did not then have an ex- istence, and there were only a few houses in 14.1gmondville, while many fine farms of to- day were then a Anse bush. , -L___. _ A HOT Time. --Mr. James Watson, of this town, had a very unpleasant experience on Wednesday evening 'of last week, when retuning home from Varna. He left Varna_ abent eight o'clock in the evening. The night' was dark und very stormy, so much so that he could not distieguish the road. When deicending the Varna hill, the horse, instead of keeping the( road, turned to the side and went d wn itlie embankment to• warde the river. tit Watson thought the snovaseemed eo be d eper than it should be, but, perm,tted the east to keep its way un- til it wen.) down, lmost. out of sight, in a hole. Here he f und that he was nearly under the bridge, i stead of being on it. He unhitched the ho ee from the critter, and getting her extri ated from the hole into which shelled plunged, led her up the bank onto the oad. He then tramped a track and drew the cutter up and getting the horse hitched u again, etarted on his way. In ehe excit ment of the moment, however, he had forg tten to buckle one of the hold- back stra a, and when near the bridge the cutter, u on entering a pitch -hole, ran on the horse' heels, causing the -brute to kick furiouely, smashing the dashboard and get- ting free of the cutter. Mr. Watson was pulled ou slid the horse got aWay from him and ran off, leaving him on' the road with the cutter. As soon as he got himself gathered together, he put, off after the borne, and found her atuck in a anow drift on the road opposite Mr. Alexander Thomp- son's farm, He got her out of trouble once more and took her back to where he had ileft Ulm cutter, and, hitching her up again, _ 'not forgetting the breeching straps this time, he reached home about 12 o'clook, without any further mishap. • MARRIED IN KANSAS. -The lady men- ' timed in the following paragraph, which we take from the Reflector, of Alseline, Kan- sas, a3daughter of Mr. Henry Taylor, formerly of Hullett, near Constance .and a sister of Mr. William Taylor, of 'Walton. The Reflector says : "At the parsonage, at Talmage, Kansas, on Sunday evening at six o'clock, February 18, in the presence of James M. Taylor the bride's brother, and the pastor's famay, Rev. 0. G. Bear joined in holy wedlock Mr. John L. Book and Miss Mary L, Taylor,' both of Willowdale. Miss Taylor is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor, and is one of the best young women of the county, well worthy to grace the life before her. Mr. Book is one of the county's ex -teachers who has left marks of superior ability wherever he has taught. He is now in charge of his father's fine farm, . 'math of Taltnagoe where he and his bride will begin their new life. They have the congratulations and best•wishes of a host of friends, to whom they will be at home after March 1."

The Democrat says : On Tuesday, February 20th, an ecelesiastical-council met at Gaza, Iowa, for the purpose of examining and if deemed expedient ordaining ,Rev. J. F. Landebor- ough to the gospel ministry. The Congte- gational churches of Sheldon, Siout Rapids, Cherokee and Primghar were represented on the council. Rev. W. L. Bray, of Shel. don, wail elected moderator and Rev,Js.mes Parsons, of Primghar, was elected scribe. The proceeding of the ehurch being found regular the council proceeded with the ex- amination of Mr. Landsborough. • A care- fully prepared paper was read by the candi- date giving his Christian experience, call to the ministry and theological belief. This was supplemented by a brief oral examina- tion. The examination was deemed highly satisfactory and by a hearty vote it was de- cided to proceed with the-- ordination eer- vices.* The ordination exercises were as follows : Sermon, by Rev. James Parsons ; ordinabion prayer, Rev. W. L. Bray ; charge to pastor, Rev. W. L. Ferris, D. D.; right hand of fellowship and charge to the people, Rev. J. K. Nutting.
